Hello! I'm a psychotherapist and founder of Collaborative Work Therapy. As the name indicates, I view the relationship between the clinician and client as a collaboration; I want my clients to truly feel like they are a part of the therapeutic process and are in charge of their counseling experience. As a clinician my goal is to empower my clients and as a native New Yorker, I am passionate about serving the needs of my community. I have a broad range of clinical experience due to my work history providing support to diverse groups of people and have been in private practice going on four years. I employ a strengths-based, client centered, trauma informed approach in my practice and utilize cognitive therapies Cognitive Behavorial Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as well as Psychodynamic Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Overall, I am eclectic in my approach as I believe no two clients are the same. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe environment where we can explore your primary interests, identify goals & develop a treatment plan to fit YOU. I see myself as the navigation in your car. I'm already at the destination, and while I cannot drive the car for you, I will provide directions for you to meet me. I look forward to working with you!
